fade out soon

by jessicagangolf

ok so my friends and i go in there on a sat night and were expecting to have a wonderful time.We finally sat down and looked at the menu and not many things really struck me as unique or tantalizing.My husband and i travel alot and have found better choices at a hotdog stand in New York.I settled on chicken fried chicken and my hubby had the steak.The steak was super pricey for such a small portion and my chicken was very well done.I also noticed that many of the wines we ordered were not what we got.I saw this happen numerous times and after speaking to friends of mine this is their usual habit.We had a horrible server who was only saved by another one named Leslie.We did tell the manager who should probably make his singing just a shower event because trying to make this a delightful evening was impossible with his loud songs.There is only one stall to the bathrooms that was covered up by a piece of paper,which we all thought was tacky,and a horrible foul odor that surrounded the back tables and traveled into the main dining area.The final joke was when the chef came out not wearing a jacket or anything and completely looked as though she hadnt bathed in months.We were all hoping she would keep her distance .Thankfully she did.No one who worked there looked happy to be working there, and my guests noticed that all the 'good servers' were gone.After that who could blame them.Trying to stick it out to the end we all ordered desert and noticed while standing for the bathroom a busboy cleaning out the center of a store bought moonpie and another filing it with what I can only assume is someone elses recipe .I was hoping for some originality but until the moment we left we found none.I noticed that since this place has opened it has lost a star every year.I can only hope that soon it will fade itself out.Henderson is a great street with some great new restaurants,and this one doesnt belong here.

• Pros: the piano is nice
• Cons: the place smells like a truckstop restroom

good atmosphere

by scarletmars

Party of 6, we were seated next to the piano. hector was very nice and came to our table to greet us. The avocado appetizer, tuna tini were good. the chicken and waffle was horrible, too much thyme. all in all the food was average but with very high prices. we did ask for ketchup and it took 10min to get it because the waiter had to go the church's chicken to get some(which was nice). but then he started taking away our plates before we were done. he wasn't even paying attention while he was doing it.

• Pros: friendly staff
• Cons: overpriced food

Its easy to become a regular

by lbj48

Hector's is a classic restaurant - good food, friendly service, and an entertaining atmosphere. It is for people who want to enjoy themselves not impress others. Depending on my mood, I have enjoyed the sea bass or the hamburger. Sometimes I have a regular desert and sometimes I have the spinach salad for dessert. Its that kind of place, you can order what you want. Once my mother had the sweet potatoes as her entire entree. No one blinked an eye and she had a good time. You can tell I am a fan and I have been eating out several times a week for over thirty years. The fact that Hector comes to your table and actually cares whether you are having a good time is major.
